Once you've 'installed' the hardware you have into the web interface, it's fairly straightforward. To prgram and activity, the web based interface simply asks a lot of questions about what inputs and outputs you want to use, how you want to control the volume, etc. (I have a TV, DVD player, V+ and surround system, all from different manufacturers)
The only problems I had were programming a 'V+' button on the soft screen and setting the inputs on the TV. My TV is a Toshiba and it has to cycle through the inputs when you change video source. Once programmed and using the remote, you have to be quite patient to let the remote cycle through the sources until it finds the one you want otherwise you end up on a SCART TV input when you wanted HDMI or something. If your TV has discrete buttons for each input, then you'll be sorted.
By they way, the Harmony support group are completely separate from the rest of Logitechs support and I've only heard good things about them, even to the point of them writing remote control macros for you
